Ochsner Patient Verified Reviews
To obtain patient ratings and comments, we partner with Press Ganey, an independent patient satisfaction company that works with more than 26,000 healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. These patient verified ratings are based on the “likelihood to recommend” physician scores on the nationally developed Medical Practice Survey. Actual top box results for this question are translated to a 1-5 scale, and the star scores are measured on that scale, with 5 being the best score.
I was extremely impressed by Dr. Giefer. He was thorough, took a detailed history, and created a very specific treatment plan. I could not believe how much time he spent with my daughter. I have already recommended him to my friends. We are lucky to have him in our community!
First visit with this physician, and he was excellent. Attentive, encouraging, professional, and great bedside manner. Would recommend him 10/10 to others.
Dr Giefer is hands down the best doctor we have been to. He sits and talks to us and truly listens and he problem solves with us. He truly takes our concerns and opinions into consideration. He has helped our daughter go from failure to thrive to thriving. He's listened to me complain about things we've ben through and he sympathizes with us. He gives us credit for things we've accomplished and overcame with our daughters special needs. I just cannot say enough good things about this doctor and the wonderful experience we have with him every appointment. HIGHLY recommend him to everybody. Thank you Dr Giefer for being the BEST
He really listened to us and agreed that he doesn't want to wait for treatment
This was our first time seeing Dr. Giefer specifically. He was incredibly kind and patient, and he went above and beyond to answer our questions and keep my daughter involved when we had to have a short "adult discussion".
Dr. Geifer and staff are phenomenal! My baby has seen 2 other GI specialists and he is the only one who has given us answers. He is very astute and listens to every word of concern. I wish the world had more doctors like him. Give this guy a paid vacation and a raise!
Was extremely impressed by Dr Giefer's knowledge, manor, concern, and solutions
